Best of the Berlin Noir trilogy, I think.

No sé si es porque ya conozco los personajes o porque me gusta más la trama de esta novela pero este es el libro que más me ha gustado de la trilogía berlinesa de Gunther y mira que la mayor parte de él sucede en Viena.
Aquí la novela policíaca se convierte en una novela de espías clásica y eso hace que la acción avance con buen ritmo hacia un desenlace que aunque previsible no defrauda.
La historia tiene de todo, asesinatos, conspiradores, nazis malvados que se adaptan al nuevo orden mundial y por supuesto aparecen los rusos como el gran enemigo.
Lo dicho, una novela que aunque tira de los recursos más clásicos del género está bien construida y mantiene el interés hasta el final.

Good, but slow and a real brain cracker. Something to really sit down with. It's subject are quite heavy, brutal and well-researched. I could have been walking down Berlin myself. Because it's so dense, I find it hard to rate this series. I might try the next one in Dutch instead of English.
